Upon sale of the real estate of de-
ceased person under license of the pro-
bate court, the order of confirmation
passes on nothing but the acts of the
executor or administrator in making the
sale. An executor or administrator &

tration as one proceeding till its close,
and all the court does in the course and
for the purpose of the administration,
including the removal or discharge of
the administration and the appointment
of others, is sustained by the Jurisdiction
thus acquired. Sections IL and Ii, chap

template the appointment of an adj

unless corrected or appealed. Chapter

the latter limited the time within which
the real estate of deceased persons may
be sold for payment of debts. An or

THE STATE PRESS.
What the Editors of Some of the Arkansas Papers find to
 Write About.

Morrilton Headlight: The Wash ington Press favors making the pub lie school permanent by doing away with the district tax, which is left to the caprice of each district, and levy straight five mills state tax. This is policy that the Headlight has long advocated and we would like to see general discussion by the state press. It would require change in the constitution, but when fixed it gives permanent school in every district in the state. Our state is on the record very forcibly in favor of public schools and only need to go one step farther and make the system permanent, and not leave it to be voted up or down as each school dis- trict may choose.
 Little Rock Gazette: Gen. Lee Thompson contributes some interest ing facts to The Gazette concerning Henry M. Stanley, the great African explorer. In 1862 he entered the Sphicdtia ae'' oSt NiCt iiOui EOIJ p puIltu, where at the time he was teaching school. One day in 1863, Gen. Thompson says, Stanley, who was then commanding a company in his regiment, rode out of camp and never returned. It was said he had money with which to pay of the company. He was suspected, and followed through the Choctaw Nation to Tex as, and through Texas to Mexico, but could not be captured. The pursuing party occupied forty days in their journey.
 Ft Smith Elevator: The crop re- ports as published in the Little Rock Gazette show the condition and pros poets of our agriculturalsts to be in a most fourishing condition. From almost every portion of the State comes the report that mother earth has yielded bounteously. The crops this year will be much heavier than ever before, and the acreage in cultivation far exceeds that of last year. The people of Arkansas have reason to rejoice that the Almighty has so bounteously rewarded their labor.

MUCH interest is exhibited throughout the world in the physical condition of the aged emperor of Germany. Cablegrams are sent to this country every time his condition is considered the least precarious, and which, owing to his extreme age, are very frequent. This is not alone due to the high station of the man. The impression prevails throughout the civilized world that the peace which has been maintain ed in Germany and the countries ad- jacent thereto, hangs on the brittle thread of the old mans life. It is believed that the influence he has exerted to maintain peace around him will not live after him, and that immediately following his demise the continental countries of Europe may be drawn into tue vortex of war. Germany and France are certainly itching to get at one another again, and, while peace which now reigns may last during the life of the aged man who has so many years ruled In the affairs of the German empire, it will be swept away when he shall he no more

incident among the leading newspa- pers of the country.


 THE break in the wheat market came close on the heels of the coffee panic, and tis another illustration
 of the power of interruptions specu- lators who are sustained by plenty of money. There has been for years speculation in wheat, pork, corn and
 provisions. but only lately has the
 fever spread to coffee. A light sup ply of the lower grades for which the
 demand IS greater, owing to its being
 sold among the poorer people, caus-
 ed coffee corner, and before any
 body was hardly aware that there
 was any trouble with the coffee mar.
 ket, the lower grades bounded up to
 the selling price of tue finest grades. Untold numbers of coffee buyers got pinched in this deal and and no doubt the few boomers with the nerve and ready cash to carry on the boom realized enormous fortunes
 It is sometimes very difficult to tell who really gets hurt in these panlcs but whether it is the manipulators or not. they are far from reassurinq to the country, for they shake the general confidence in the stability of business, and never result iL any good to producers or consumers. The gambling Tn the staple products of this country is wrong and should be stopped, but it seems almost impos sible to prohibit it. The laws of the various states against manipulating the markets are not enforced, and ii looks as if it will be a good while before public sentiment will be edu- cated up to the point where the gi- gantic abuses will be taken firmly in hand by courts and juries. It is time for the press, the pulpit and all
 good citizens to speak out with no
 uncertain voice In relation to the
 mania for speculation and gambling
 that has become epidemic in almost
 every part of the country, and which
 has become so firmly rooted as to eff
 feet the prosperity of our great in-
 dustries and endanger the general
 welfare.

PRESIDENT Rice, of the New Or leans, Natchez and Fort Scott rail- way states positively that he has perfecting financial arrangements with eastern capitalists assuring the building of the road beyond all doubt, and he calls upon Arkansas communities along the route to make good their verbal promises of subsidies in the way of donations of money, depot grounds and right of way. If Russellville proposes to be heard further in this matter now is the time for action. Gen. Rice will begin tour of the proposed route very soon and 1t appears to us that tue proper thing to do is to appoint a committee to meet him and make overtures to induce him to locate the route through Pope county and via Russellville. There is nothing we need more than competing line of rail way and this route would give us all we need in this direction. Unit ed efforts on the part of our citizens would secure for them respectful hearing, and might result in accom- phshing something. The prize is worth contending for. Let's strive to get it.

DOVER, June 24.-Referring to com mmunication contained Tn you last issue from Prof. J. M. Mallet in answer to my challenge to discus the political issues 1 desire to say that 1 did not think it possible fo Prof. M. to be ignorant of the fac that Tn all my correspondence, through the medium of your paper have used NOM DE PLUME instead of signing my name to my effusions nor do l now think that it was or il possible for that gentleman to bt mistaken in the identity of Aun Wash, in as much as you have ire quently alluded to me in the DEMO GRAF, giving my alias, and followed with my name in full. I will there fore state for the edificatlon of Prof Mallett, that "Aunt Wash" anc Horace Bradley are ONE and tho same individual; that, although ''sail' under an ostensible FEMALE NON DE PLUME, l have never faller into the habit of arraying myself IT ''peticoats" or other feminine para phernalia-and unless he shall here after apply that term to me In a met spherical sense-I know nothing o the practical utility of what he calls "Whale Bone;" that according to my best information and belief 1 amt black either inside or outside. As to W hat I shall in the future state fol his edification I'll let him ''carry the news to Mary" after the discussion 1 propose then, since he accepts my challenge, that we discuss the pro posed issues as follows, viz:
 FIRsT-There is distinctive diff ference between the terms Democra- cy and Republicanism, our form of government being essentially de mocracy, the republican party being essentially a party to meet the exi- gencies of the war, has only pro longed it's existence since the termi nation of that issue, by resuscitating the issues winch brought on the conflict.
 SECoND-The question of Capital vs. Labor is not one which appeals to the State for adjudication, but to the individual, and In consequence has no position in politics.
 I affirm and you deny.

HEREWITH is given three comments

HEREWITH is given three comments by leading publications in the coun try, all of them independent papers two of them-the Chicago Times and the New York Herald, -inde, pendent democratic, and the Phil. adelphia Times independent republi- can, concerning the battle-fag incl dent, and some of the partlsans who have rushed to the front in the mat ter. Speaking of General Fairchild, the New York Herald says:
 "General Fairchild made a very good record in the war, and he IS an orator of no mean ability. He will, however, be known hereafter as the gentleman who carries about with hlm three kinds of palsy and a bloody shirt"
 The Philadelphia Times turns it's attention to MT. Foraker, of Ohio, who opened the cannonading on the partisan side, and thus dresses him down:
 "The spectacle of little Joe Forak CT sitting on the capitol fence of Col. umbus, shotgun Tn hand, to report any rebel invasion for the purpose of capturing the flags in the Ohio state house IS enough to convince every body that the country has barely missed being in real peril"
 The Chicago Times believes that the battle flags ought not to be re turned, condemns Drums plan a piece of nohsensical folly, but it can not resist getting in this one on the New York Tribune:
 "The republican paper that is making the biggest howl over the proposed return of the rebel flags bears at the head of it's editorial page the legend Pounded by Horace Greely" man who re- turned JeG Davis"
 These editorial notes show the drift of opinion on the battie-dag
